For more than two centuries, the Second Amendment has protected this nation from threats foreign and domestic. The Founding Fathers understood that the right to keep and bear arms was the most practical method of defending one’s self, family and property against those who want to cause harm.
They included it as a result of personal experiences with oppression and wanted to ensure future generations were well prepared to defend against such threats. The Second Amendment exists today because of the British Army’s attempt to seize the colonists’ firearms and ammunition in Concord, Mass. on April 18, 1775. |

| "[T]here is no such thing as a free nation where the police and military are allowed to bear arms and citizens are not." - Well said. Well said, indeed. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
